Hannity Vows Legal Action After Sexual Harassment Accusation

[Guest shiloh357]

Sean Hannity has vowed to sue a former guest of his program with "some of the finest and toughest lawyers in the country" after she accused the Fox News host of sexually propositioning her as allegations of sexual harassment continue to roil the network.

Well here we go again.   It will be interesting to see if Hannity actually does fight the charge or if he settles.  That (to me) is always the telling factor - whether or not the accused tries to clear their name or not.

For what it's worth - the charges against O'Reilly didn't surprise me.  These allegations against Hannity - if it turns out they are true - would.

Blessings,

What happened to women just telling men off when they received on wanted advances?  rather then all this I'm going to ruin you in this city type of vengeance?

Because they have discovered that they can sue and possibly get a large settlement.  But I am starting to think there is an effort to take down the major players at FOX.  Hannity, especially, because he was such a strong supporter of Trump.   I don't think the charges are true.

I don't think a settlement is necessarily an admission of guilt.   In a He said/she said situation, if there is no proof, either way, the benefit of the doubt will go to victim.    So it might be cheaper over the long haul just to settle and get it out of the news cycle as quickly as possible than to go to a trial and risk the court awarding her an even larger amount that what might have been paid in a settlement.

Because that does not stop them from doing it to the next woman and the next woman and the next woman.  

A woman at work should not need to spend her time fighting off the advances of men who are pigs and can not control themselves

Yes, but that may not enough at this point.   I guess she knows she would go down in flames in a defamation suit.

well, I would not do so because I am a happily married man, but if I were single, would it really be some terrible thing to ask someone up to my room and just let it go if the answer was no....

It is her word against his. She has no hard evidence. That is why a person needs to keep a recorder hidden on themselves that no one can see but it can pick up the conversation in situations like this.

And a man at work shouldn't have to worry he's going to be called vile names and get sued because he says good morning to the same woman two days in a row!
